Machine tap DIN 371B H M10×1.5 mm – HSS‑Co machine tap, ISO metric thread, TECWERK

A Machine tap DIN 371B H M10×1.5 mm engineered for through threads in high‑strength steels, suitable for use in automated tapping units and machining centres.

• HSS‑Co construction for high toughness
• DIN 371B Form B with straight flutes
• ISO metric M10×1.5, tolerance field 6H
• Shank Ø 10 mm for secure toolholding

Enhanced cutting performance from cobalt high‑speed steel

The use of HSS‑Co (cobalt alloy high‑speed steel) delivers a notably higher red hardness and toughness compared with standard HSS, enabling consistent cutting in demanding conditions. Coupled with the DIN 371B Form B geometry and straight flutes, this tap offers controlled chip formation and predictable load distribution. The ISO metric M10×1.5 thread and ISO2 (6H) tolerance ensure compatibility with standardised components, reducing inspection overhead and simplifying integration into production workflows.

Designed for through‑thread applications and hard steels

A dedicated through‑thread chamfer (Schälanschnitt) reduces the risk of chip accumulation at the thread start and shortens cycle times when producing blind or through threads on the same part. The flute design and flank relief grinding ease thread entry and minimise torque peaks, which is particularly important when working with high‑strength steels above 1000 N/mm² tensile strength. The combination of geometry and material results in longer tool life and fewer tap changes, improving process reliability and lowering overall machining cost.

Secure clamping, consistent results and workshop compatibility

The shank Ø 10 mm provides a compact, rigid interface for collets and holders common in tapping heads, enabling repeatable concentricity and stable spindle engagement. Marked with a red ring for quick identification and supplied as a single unit, this tap suits small batch production as well as serial manufacturing. Backed by TECWERK’s manufacturing standards and available through Metav Werkzeuge’s European distribution, the tool supports predictable supply and straightforward replacement planning for workshops and production facilities.

FAQ

What materials is this tap suitable for?
The Machine tap DIN 371B H M10×1.5 mm is specified for use in high‑strength steels (over 1000 N/mm²) and general engineering steels; the HSS‑Co construction increases performance in demanding alloys.

Which standards and tolerances does the tap comply with?
This tap conforms to DIN 371B geometry and the thread is produced to DIN 13 Blatt 1 with tolerance field ISO2 (6H) for metric threads.

How does the chamfer affect machining of through threads?
The specialised chamfer reduces chip build‑up at the thread start and eases thread entry, resulting in lower torque peaks and improved cycle stability for through‑thread operations.

Is the shank compatible with common tapping holders?
Yes; the shank Ø 10 mm is suitable for standard collets and tapping heads, enabling secure clamping and reliable concentricity in automated or manual setups.

Can this tap be used in CNC tapping cycles?
The geometry and material of this tap make it suitable for machine tapping cycles in machining centres and dedicated tapping units when paired with appropriate feeds and lubricants.
